Actor Abhay Deol, who has now made a strong foothold in mainstream cinema after doing well in films with offbeat and alternative subjects, says he likes to relate to the characters that he plays on screen.

“There should be something in the character that I feel I can relate to. For example, in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, I related to Lucky’s ambition as I’m ambitious too. In Dev D, the character’s stubbornness and his vulnerability is something I could relate to. Similarly, I related to my character in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara because it’s a very real character,” Deol said.
